Today's plan to go out was scrapped at the very last minute. Certain things that could have been avoided happened so unfortunately, no Twilight for me today, unless I decide to be that total loner who goes to the cinema alone and watches the movie at the back of the cinema munching my popcorn away. I am a tad dissapointed but yeah, what can I do? Things happened.

On another hand, I could use the money to buy magazines. I know I've made a promise to myself to cut down on the magazines that I buy, but I can't help it. The January magazine covers are all so good, I have to/want to bend the rules and get at least one. I'd have to go check it out later at the bookshop. But, I'd seriously be regretting it if I were to buy the foreign magazine that costs like $20-$30.

Anyways, here's the article that I read yesterday. There's two versions, the one that ends with the atheist professor winning his argument, while the other version ended with the Christian student defending his argument. There's also a muslim version.

Atheist Professor: http://www.bowness.demon.co.uk/brain.htm

After reading the article, I truly find that philosophy is an interesting subject. Heck, it shouldn't even be classified as a subject, since it encompasses everything and goes beyond the four walls of the classroom. How I wished that classroom discussions in school could have been like this. But who am I kidding? Singapore's society is too shallow minded, that a conversation like this would make them feel uncomfortable. All those talk that Singapore is a cosmpolitan, globalised city does not make up for the fact that Singaporeans are too sensitive to talk about sensational issues. 1 different opinion said and you'll be labelled as a defiant person, who doesn't follow the norms of the religion or the society.

Ah, the perks of living in Singapore!

There's an undertone of sarcasm in that last sentence if you could catch my drift. Till the next post.
